excellent work
By Marjorie 22nd January 2019Warily I entrusted my loved 1989 G plan leather sofa and chair to this company to have the webbing replaced and the cushions refilled. It came back as good as new! A really first class job completed with efficiency and courtesy.
Sofa Seat Pads

Repair and upholstery of armchair
By Catherine 15th November 2018Excellent service and quality of workmanship
Sofa reconfigure
By S.Hurley 12th November 2018When we moved house our corner sofa wouldn’t fit in the lounge anymore. I rang abbey upholstery after looking on line & Tom could not have been more helpful. He came out to see if it was possible to remove the arm off the chaise longue & attach to the sofa. The service was quick, high quality with great communication throughout. It was very reasonable & saved us having to buy a new sofa. Highly recommend.
French polishing
By Brendan Clarke 1st November 2018Years ago I was given a Victorian table. Would you believe someone had painted it grey! The guy who gave it to had tried to renovate it by stripping the paint and varnishing it. Believe me that table had had a hard life! Bumped and scratched with cracks and splits. Tom assured me it was not beyond renovation. How right he was! The colours he has brought out of the wood are unbelieveable. A fantastic job. Everything he promised and more. Well done
Quality Upholstery
By Jane Hickson 25th October 2018Delighted with recovering of blanket box and stool, and transformation of a much-loved old nursing chair (French polished, re-strapped and recovered). Professional, helpful and efficient service. Would highly recommend.

Great Service
By Jo Fisher 18th October 2018Really pleased with every aspect of the job. We had 2 springs replaced on our sofa and it’s just like new. Very professional service, great communication and good value. Would definitely recommend.
Super Sofa Repair
By Jack Campbell 3rd July 2018Our much-loved 7 foot black leather sofa was getting quite saggy over the years. But I kept putting off repairs as it's the one piece of furniture I could stretch my 6 foot 2 inch frame onto. But with overseas visitors due, the time had come. Tom came and assessed the damage, gave us a quote and said he'd do his best to get the repairs done within a fairly tight time-frame (2-3 weeks). True to his word, we got the call two and half weeks later and the fully restored sofa reappeared. It looked and felt like new again (apart from cat scratches - grrr!). it's great to have the sofa back - and to be able to stretch out in front of telly. Thanks to Tom, Karen and their crew for a job very well done!
Window seat and chairs recovered
By Mary 22nd May 2018Thank you so much Karen and Tom for a fantastic job you have done in recover my top snuggle chairs and pouffes. Also for the fantastic window seat you made for my feature window. I am extremely pleased with the wonderful work you have done for me.
Sofa Repair
By Mohan 14th May 2018Hi Tom
I am grateful for an excellent courteous and friendly service. The Ligne Roset sofa looks as good as new. Thanks
Great Job
By Kate 6th May 2018Karen came initially to check my comfortable 3 piece could be re-uphostered in the first place. It was then taken away and a few weeks later came back totally unrecognisable.
If you find your own suite comfortable just tired looking, just upcycle, its easier than searching for a new one!
Great service Karen. Thank you.
Repaired Sofa
By Ann Holdsworth 24th April 2018I cannot sing the praises of Abbey Upholstery too much.
Our Natuzzi extra long sofa is 15 years old and has been used and abused by both our children and grandchildren and we feared the worst.
Tom came and assured us that firstly, they could get the sofa out of the room and secondly, it was repairable.
Seeing it being taken apart was rather unsettling but with a lot of manoeuvring it was taken off to be repaired. Two weeks later (as promised) it came back, re-assembled and fully restored. It looks and feels marvellous again.
Would thoroughly recommend Abbey Upholstery to anyone and from the reviews see that you carry out French polishing - I'll be back to you soon!!!
A fantastic job
By Teri Gibson & Peter Davies 12th February 2018Dear Karen
Peter and I would like to sincerely thank you for the excellent professional work you carried out on our Natuzzi Plaza Corner Unit.
I am extremely fussy and feared our suite may be damaged in transit or workshop, I thank you Karen for alleviating my fears, keeping me well informed of the progress and returning my Natuzzi Corner Unit back to us as good as new.
A fantastic job, I would most certainly recommend Abbey Upholstery to anyone.
A very, very sincere thank you once again.
Teri & Peter
Excellent job
By Linda BrittonHello Karen,
At last I've got round to thanking you and your team for the excellent job made on re-covering my suite, and not forgetting the Tardis team who kindly unpacked some furniture for me that had been delivered earlier!!.
It was so refreshing to deal with a smaller company where your dealing with 1 person through the process and not passed on to different departments .
I came to you through recommendation and would certainly do the same.
Regards Linda.

Very professional
By Julie Walker-Green 20th November 2017Really impressed with Abbey Upholsterers, our 2 sofas and chair have a new lease of life having had the cushions refilled and webbing repaired! Very professional and helpful advice given, highly recommended!
My new stools
By Sally 1st November 2017Abbey Upholstery re covered the seats on a pair of stools that I found on our newly purchased narrow boat. They did a magnificent job, they are now a beautiful moss green, with extra padding and look like new. A very reasonable price and completed in a week. I would recommend them 100%.
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
By Anne Brice 1st June 2017So pleased with the renovation of my late grandmothers old chair. It was really falling to bits and Tom has done a beautiful job.
The woodwork looks amazing , it has been renovated and yet has retained the original character . The upholsterery is incredibly neat, I love the duck egg blue fabric and now I can actually sit on the chair without the fear of falling through.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abbey Upholsterery , once again thank you Tom!
Great service and high quality
By Jessica 15th November 2016I had been looking for a particular material to upholster some bedroom furniture and was struggling to find anything I liked, I contacted Karen at Abbey Upholstery and the quality and choice of material they have was fantastic, after asking what I was looking for Karen showed me some options and I was thrilled with the selection we made. Karen was able to suggest finishes and additional touches that were exactly what I wanted. My order was finished within the agreed time and I was kept up to date with progress. The finished items are perfect and I would highly recommend Abbey Upholstery for their high quality, personally tailored approach.
I found their work to be exceptional
By Kieron JamesonI have used abbey for furniture restoration and furniture repair in leeds, and just recently, used their upholstery service. I found their work to be exceptional.
Polishing & re-covering
By Neil W 5th June 2018Tom is very knowledgeable and provided excellent advice regarding tired old furniture.
I had three items recovered and two polished, they look lovely, worth every penny.
I'm now considering taking up Tom's advice to recover my suite which is dated but well made, rather than buying new poorer quality one.
